Copper can react with acidic liquids like citrus juices, vinegar, and certain alcohols, leading to the leaching of copper into the drink. Ingesting high levels of copper can be toxic, causing symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and in severe cases, can lead to liver or kidney damage.
Use silver instead.
Plus silver gives you beautiful skin!
What in the papa Smurf?
I use lead for making my wine. My father used lead, and his father before him. There is nothing sweeter than wine from the lead pot, and I know not of a better cup than those of pewter.
Sugar of lead. Makes the peoples stronger.
It’s thought that lead in wine is why Beethoven lost his hearing
Like bleach, acid, alcohol, and fire: Copper is pretty good at killing things.
We happen to be bigger things than most, so we have more resistance to it, but we're not immune.
I test my aquarium for copper fairly frequently because it i something that can kill my shrimp in small doses.
They sell copper nails that can poison a tree.
I should get a better aquarium testing kit. I only ever check ph on the regular.
Honestly, in a stable tank with a solid ecosystem and no chemicals you shouldn't need to test anything, usually.
I just got the shrimp, and they're especially sensitive to water parameters. I'm being cautious.
Throw a penny in for decoration :0
JK I love shrimp and have a ton. A while ago I used to fear copper too only because I once dosed a fertilizer with it and all my shrimp started to turn black. When I put them in new water it saved them though.
I just keep mosquito fish, I swear they are hardy enough I could pour in bleach and they would just spit it back at me.
Or just wash the bottles you already have.
But I'm that "has this ever happened to you" person in the infomercial that can't figure out how to wash bottles.
